Erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on scalp
We describe a 45-year-old man who presented with erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on his scalp. In previously reported cases, there were only descriptions of nodules as well as tumors. However, in our case, the patient presented with plaques and nodules on his scalp that quickly resolved with treatment for syphilis. It is important to recognize and treat syphilis at an early stage.PMID:38478648 | DOI:10.5070/D329562412 (Source: Dermatol Online J)

Secondary syphilis presenting as leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 61-year-old man
We report a case of secondary syphilis presenting with an acute, rapidly progressive purpuric eruption mimicking leukocytoclastic vasculitis. A 61-year-old man presented with a 6-day history of nonpruritic rash on his chest and lower extremities associated with fatigue, sore throat, and night sweats. Examination revealed purpuric papules, extending from the dorsal feet to the hips; mucosal surfaces were not involved. A diagnosis of cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis was favored with possible triggers of IgA vasculitis. Initial work-up showed acute kidney injury and microscopic hematuria. Renal biopsy showed IgA nephropathy ...

A case of monkeypox and cytomegalovirus coinfection manifesting with crusted lesions mimicking rupiod syphilis

Validating the implementation of an indicator reporting policies and laws on free public maternal health-related services in the era of universal health coverage: A multi-country cross-sectional study
ConclusionsFree care laws were largely accurately reported in the global MNCAH policy database. Notably, we found that women absorbed both direct and indirect costs and made both formal and informal payments for services designated as free. Therefore, the policy indicator does not provide a valid reflection of UHC in the three settings. (Source: PLoS One)

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers of Symptomatic Neurosyphilis in People With HIV Compared with Uninfected Individuals
AbstractWe evaluated the diagnostic clinical performance characteristics (DCPC) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total protein (TP), white blood cell count (WBC), and lactate (LA) with different cutoff points as adjunct biomarkers of confirmed or presumptive symptomatic neurosyphilis (NS) and the impact of HIV infection. From 5,640 participants who underwent lumbar punctures, 236 participants were included, and classified as either people with HIV (PWH) or people without HIV (PWoH) according to the CDC criteria for confirmed NS (n = 42), presumptive NS (n = 74), systemic syphilis (SS) (n = 38), serological diagnos...

Epidemiology of Reportable Bacterial Infectious Diseases in Saudi Arabia
ConclusionsThe future perspective of this research is to enhance disease surveillance reporting by including different variables, such as the source of infection, travel history, hospitalization, and mortality rates. The aim is to improve the sensitivity and specificity of surveillance data and focus on the mortality associated with bacterial pathogens to identify the most significant threats and set a public health priority.

Secondary syphilis presenting as fever of unknown origin
Image of patient's maculopapular syphilitic rash on palmar surface of his hand, which developed about 8 weeks into his fever. Key Clinical MessageA thirty-eight year-old male presented with a seven-week history of persistent fever accompanied by recurrent night sweats, chills, arthralgias, headache, and chest tightness.Initial laboratory testing showed non-specific elevation of inflammatory markers, but was otherwise unremarkable.A palmar rash developed one week later, prompting testing for syphilis. Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) and rapid plasma reagin (RPR) tests were both positive.Penicillin G ...
